The 209 primer is extremely difficult to remove from My new ThunderBolt rifle. What can I do?
Doc has modified the 209 breechplug so that it releases the primer easily after the shot. It should be available in Spring ’03. If you already own a ThunderBolt, you can get one for the asking once production gets going. DOC used one for all his hunting fall ’02 and it worked very well, coming out of the primer recess with a fingernail after each shot. It made quick reloading easy. An easy fix is to drill the primer pocket out to .250 diameter, which is 1/4 inch. Use a .250 reamer if you can, the expended primer will come out all the easier.
